Error Messages
The WaveSense KeyNote Blood Glucose Monitoring
System has been designed to work accurately under
most usual conditions. On rare occasions, the meter will
display an error message instead of a glucose result. The
WaveSense KeyNote system is able to detect speci c
problems which may allow you to determine the cause of
the error without wasting valuable test strips. When you
are presented with an error message, check for common
problems that may explain the source of the error.
CAUTION: In certain cases, the meter may return
an error code or provide an inaccurate result if it is
being used near electrical equipment, like a power
generator or a computer monitor.

CAUTION: When the battery symbol appears, you
should replace the batteries immediately. Only
use CR2032 batteries.
Your WaveSense KeyNote Meter comes with two pre-
installed, CR2032, 3 volt, lithium batteries. If your batteries
run low, the battery symbol ashes until you change the
batteries. The backlight is disabled in all modes when the
battery symbol is on. When changing batteries the current
time and date settings will be reset. The time and date will
automatically be set to 01-01 12:00. Correct time and date
settings are needed to get correct averages. Removing the
batteries does not a ect the meter’s memory or previously
stored user settings, such as those set in SET Options (e.g.
calibration code, alarms, etc.). If a battery is installed
incorrectly it will damage the other battery in the meter. If
this happens discard both batteries.
Replacing the Batteries
[1] Open Battery Door: Make
sure the meter is deactivated. Turn
the meter so you are looking at the
battery door. Press the battery door
clip to the right to open. Remove the
battery door. Be careful not to misplace the battery door.
[2] Remove and Install 1st Battery: To remove
the used battery, use a non-metallic tool at point A to
pop out the battery. Install the
new battery with the positive
(+) sign facing up towards you.
[3] Remove and Install
2nd Battery: Repeat previous step
for the 2nd battery.
[4] Close Battery Door: Angle
the battery door back onto the

door until it snaps gently into place.
Make sure that the battery door is
completely closed before using.

dehydration, consult your healthcare professional
immediately. [2] The ADA (American Diabetes
Association) recommends the following target ranges
for adults with Diabetes: Pre-Prandial Plasma Glucose
90-130 mg/dL and Post-Prandial Plasma Glucose <
180 mg/dL. Always consult your healthcare profes-
sional for your recommended target ranges. [3]
Results below 70 mg/dL may mean low blood glucose
levels (hypoglycemia). [4] Results over 240 mg/dL
may mean high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia).
Checking ketones may be advisable. [5] If you get re-
sults below 70 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL and do not
have symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia,
repeat the test. If you have symptoms, or continue to
get results that fall below 70 mg/dL or rise above 240
mg/dL, follow your healthcare professional’s recom-
mendations. [6] If you are experiencing symptoms
that are not consistent with your blood glucose test
and you have followed all instructions described in
the WaveSense KeyNote Owner’s Guide, follow your
healthcare professional’s recommendations. [7]
Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may receive
inaccurate results. [8] Always follow your healthcare
